PPNCF

   PPNCF is an organization of professional photographer that together help set standards in educating the industry in Marion and Alachua counties as well as  the consumer of what professional lighting, composition are, and how professional creative photography works in both a commercial level and fine art portriats for the home. One of the ways we challenge each other is to summit our work in a theme category and General category for critic and judging by our fellow piers. It has been several years since entering, but inspired by Sheila's drive to become a better professional photographer and her commitment to earn her Florida degree of photographic excellence she entered her first print and pushed me to enter again as well. Sheila entered her first image in the Themed category. In both the images selected our clients were very pleased and although the image did not win, her image of Clay Parton was very well received with many positive comments and feedback, "A stylish modern portrait". I watched Sheila as her competitive and artistic spirit came alive. I entered in the General category an image of a young guitarist called "scream" and won first place. With a pie eyed look, notice was given to me by Sheila she is going to beat me next time. So the challenge is on only to make us better professional photographers for you and explore new professional techniques that will create new styles. So I say to you Sheila "Bring It.
